Dining at the Space Needle

Meg's parents got off a cruise in Seattle so we drove up to see them. We had a good time walking around the city. When we were done we had lunch at the space needle.

You got a citation!

On our way back home from Seattle, we stopped at subway and saw this car. Our family had a gold Chevy Citation. It was one of those cars we loved to hate. For a long time we would argue who would go in it. Being that we lived in Texas and it was our only car with a/c:
I can't believe someone would spend the money to make one of these into a tuner car.

Got Atom?

I was driving today and what do my eyes behold but an Ariel Atom. A street legal go-kart. I have seen them in magazines, but never on the street.

the week comes to a close

Would anyone like some tube worm for dinner?

See they do sell Chevy's in the land of Korean Cars.

We had the last day of rollouts. It is an amazing process to see how this all works, it sure is fun. I tried to take more shots of the area from the car. We are starting to get some of the "yellow sand" pollution that comes in from China. That is what is making the sun so red in the last shot.

We are all beat, we went to dinner with the factory guys to a "hot pot" a big boiling pot of water that they just start throwing stuff in. I had clam, shrimp, octopus, and all sorts of crazy stuff. I will post the picture from eating when I get back to the states and I can turn my phone on.

This place is amazing, but I can't wait to come home and be with my family. I'll see ya in a few hours. well after you finish with your Friday... my Friday is done.

Back to T2 for the factory tour

I saw this sign at the end of my tour. I think we will have to copy it and use it back in Beaverton.

I really got an education in shoe making today. I never knew how much hand work goes into making a single pair of shoes. I always thought that most of it was done by machine, the machines are used, but there are sooo many people that do the work.

I not only have a greater appreciation for my job but also for the people that work here and how hard they have to work. How silly little design changes mean hours and hours of work have to be re-done to move a line 1mm in some cases... how much waste comes from the silly little details. I wish I could share with you guys all the images that I took but I will just show you what I can over the web.

Chang Shin factory tour

I had a fun day today. We had more project break out sessions. It's amazing how the work gets done when you feel like you are on the NYSE floor with voices and comments going everywhere.

After that was over, I was able to go to Chang Shin. No cameras are allowed in their site. It was really nice, I was able to get some shots on our way back to the motel and out front. It's a rainy day so they aren't that great of shots.

Presentation Day

I took more pictures on my way to T2 today. I even made a little movie, I will see if I can get it to upload. The presentation went well, now I will just have to tell everyone at dinner tonight that I am LDS and don't drink as the main boss here found out that this was my first trip to Korea, and tradition is to get the person plastered drunk. ;) whatever.

ah, I just checked out the video.. It wasn't that excititng... Time for me to head off to dinner.
